On February 25, fifteen Pennsylvania representatives introduced HB 795, which would let any independent voter vote in a partisan primary. The U.S. Supreme Court has already ruled that it is up to political parties, not state government, to decide whether to let independent voters vote in primaries. Neither major party in Pennsylvania has ever exercised its right to invite independents into their primaries. Presumably if this bill passes, that would indicate that both major parties accept the idea, and neither major party would then go to court to overthrow the new law.
